It depends whom you ask! Polysaccharides are sugars (bad!) but dietary fibre (good!) is mainly comprised of polysaccharides like cellulose.

What are composed of lipids and proteins?
Polysaccarides and Monosaccarides
What are three important polysaccaride?
Starch, glycogen and cellulose are three important polysaccarides.
What monomers plants use to make cellulose?
Cellulose is made in animals, starch is made in plants from polysaccarides
What small organic molecules form carbohydrate chains?
Carbohydrates are a class of nutrients. All nutrients have monomers which are the organic building blocks of polymers. Under carbohydrates, there are the polymers, polysaccarides, and the monomers, monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are linked together through condensation (dehydration) reactions to form chains of disaccharides and polysaccarides.
What are the algae involved in bioremediation?
chlorococcus littorale isolated from Kamaishi Bay sucessfully convert co2 in to polysaccarides which may be the remeady for global warming.
Why monosaccarides are soluble in water and sweet in teste and strach is not?
It's because monosaccarides are of short in carbon chains,but polysaccarides are very long,leading to their tastlessness,insolubility
What are smaller components of polysaccarides?
Any of a class of carbohydrates, such as starch and cellulose, consisting of a number of monosaccharides joined by glycosidic bonds.
Why are poly saccharides more difficult to digest than mono saccarides?
Polysaccharides are much larger molecules.
What is role of CTAB - NaCl?
Often used to purified crude cell lysate by precipitating proteins, lipids and polysaccarides out of solution. This leaves only nucleic acid (DNA, RNA) in the supernatant.
The 20 different polysaccharides used to make proteins differ in what is attached in their R group position?
'Polysaccarides' (in this question) should actually be 'amino acids'. Proteins are polymeric amino acids (20 different possibillities)
What types of compounds in bacterial cells can serve as antigen?
Compounds that can serve as antigens include proteins and polysaccarides mainly as well as nucleoproteins; includes the cellular capsules, protien coats, cell walls, flagella, and fimbrae.
What are the active medicinal properties of nettle?
Chlorophyll, beta carotene; vitamins A, C, and E; tannins; iron; calcium; phosphates; other minerals, especially silica; polysaccarides, lectins, formic acid, acetylcholine, serotonin, and more . . .
